There may be some things on your tax return that the IRS is checking out before they finish processing your refund. Or if you have EITC or additional child tax credit on your return, the IRS by law cannot send your refund until after Feb. 15.

 

Have you confirmed that your efiled return was submitted and accepted? https://shop.turbotax.intuit.com/efile/efile_status_lookup.jsp

 

If it was accepted, you can track the status of your refund using this IRS web site: https://www.irs.gov/refunds

 

See this IRS Q&A for more information about refunds: https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions

Wish I knew.  Same situation here.  Return was accepted on Jan 30.  Still showing as "received".  Son filed on Jan 27 and got his refund Feb 5.
